Allies wary as Trump’s Iran push muddles Strait of Hormuz plan

European officials say Trump’s messaging on what allies should do to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is incoherent, with no formal requests yet and many governments reluctant to deploy due to risk and a lack of clear plans; despite pledges from 30+ nations, talks are in early stages as Europe asserts its own strategic autonomy, with the UK planning a security summit and NATO/G7 discussions looming, while possible options like destroyers or counter-mine support are considered only after the conflict subsides.
